What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Tony Griffiths]

You might still get stranded after dark out in the middle of Derbyshire - sidelights are a lifeline in such circumstances!

Good advice - I'll wire in a two-way switch to go from dipped to sidelights. Or, for a period look, a pair of clip-on WW2 headlight shrouds? On a connected point, the original-style rear lights can be difficult; the rims are either difficult to remove and replace  - or drop off - and the contact units are not exactly aerospace quality. One my '29, the previous owner had the bright idea of installing clips by each light to hold those super-bright bicycle rear lamps. Hence, if a bulb went and was proving difficult to replace, just clipping a bicycle unit in place was a get-you-home solution (at least, I think that's why he did it).
